Liam Hicks Hits Two Homers on Saturday to Beat the Mets
Miami Marlins catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks was the catalyst for the team's offense in Saturday's win over the division-rival New York Mets at Loan Depot Park. Hicks went 2-for-4 at the plate with two solo home runs to raise his season average to .279 and his OPS to .842. The 26-year-old left-handed slugger took Mets starter Freddy Peralta deep twice for the first multi-home run game of his young career. The two home runs were Hicks' first since May 7, and he's now hitting .233 (17-for-73) with four long balls, a double, 16 RBI, and six runs scored across 21 games and 82 plate appearances this month. He had gone hitless in each of his last three games, so it was nice to see him break out on Saturday. In his second year in the big leagues, Hicks is breaking out for the Fish, hitting .279 (46-for-165) overall with 11 round-trippers, 44 RBI, 24 runs, and a steal in 50 games played. He also has a .339 on-base percentage, .503 slugging percentage, and .842 OPS. Hicks is rostered in 81% of Yahoo leagues.
